Xiao Fisherman Appears, Preparing to Seize the Heavenly Flames!
The Fire Python formed from the Fallen Heart Flame raised its head and stared intently at the pitch-black spire. There, a black energy, like a curtain of the sky, was slowly emitting light. It seemed weak, but it possessed extremely terrifying defensive power. Over the years, it had been restricted by this thing quite a bit.
It had already accumulated energy for many years and was confident that it could break through the seal and escape this place in a few years. However, these guys actually invited a powerful expert of that level who not only forcibly extracted its Origin Heart Flame but also severely injured it. It would take at least twenty years to fully recover!
Twenty years!
Just two days ago, it sensed the aura of a large amount of Heavenly Flames!
The aura of those Heavenly Flames wasn't strong. If he could devour them, then even if it meant paying a huge price to break the seal, it would be completely worthwhile.
Not only will it allow me to fully recover from my injuries, but it will also free me from this damned place, and turn all those damned humans who imprisoned me to ashes!
That's killing three birds with one stone!
Therefore, it decided to take the risk and directly attempt to break through the seal!
It spent three full days using a special method to seal a large amount of magma power within its body, in order to maximize its combat power and explosive force in a short period of time.
Although it will be weakened for a period of time afterward, as long as it can devour the Heavenly Flames it sensed, then everything will be worth it!
Thinking of this, the Fallen Heart Flame snapped out of its daze and suddenly let out an extremely sharp screech:
"Grumble!"
Then, an invisible sound wave spread out and crashed heavily against the surrounding energy wall, causing violent ripples to spread across the energy wall.
Then, the giant Invisible Fire Python formed from the Fallen Heart Flame opened its mouth wide and spewed out a large amount of invisible flames!
The invisible flame shot straight into the dark energy membrane, surging along its path, even distorting space to varying degrees. The extreme heat made it impossible to see any signs of damage.
"Hiss!"
Although the thin dark energy membrane had extremely strong defensive capabilities, it obviously could not last long under the continuous and endless scorching of the Fallen Heart Flame. Therefore, after about ten minutes, the energy membrane was already faintly visible and on the verge of collapse!
Outside, both Xiao Yan and Huo Zhi noticed that the Heavenly Flames within their bodies suddenly became scorching hot for a moment, and they exchanged a glance, sensing this.
"The seal is about to break!"
Sure enough, just as the two of them had this thought, a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, suddenly came from the direction of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower. Then, under the horrified gazes of the many students and elders, the top of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower also exploded with a bang, and a column of scorching magma erupted out in front of everyone's horrified eyes!
At the same time, the energy of heaven and earth in the entire Inner Academy suddenly surged violently.
Having broken through the seal of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, the Fallen Heart Flame's sharp, excited hiss rang out, and magma, like a volcanic eruption, scattered in all directions. In an instant, the entire area within a hundred meters of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower was transformed into a sea of fire.
Then, a gigantic, Invisible Fire Python, several tens of feet long, emerged from the magma. Sensing the incredibly fresh energy of the long-lost free world around it, a human-like ecstasy appeared in its enormous vertical pupils.
The surrounding students were stunned when they saw the enormous creature that broke out of the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.
The thought that such a ferocious creature was hidden in the place where they often cultivated sent chills down their spines.
That's terrifying!
"This thing doesn't seem like a magical beast..."
Zi Yan looked at the terrifying, Invisible Fire Python and muttered in confusion.
She couldn't sense any magical beast aura from the Fallen Heart Flame.
"It really is the Fallen Heart Flame..."
Looking at the Invisible Fire Python and sensing the fluctuations of the Red Lotus Karma Flame within her own body, Huo Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly.
Although we don't know what happened to cause the Fallen Heart Flame to suddenly go berserk and break its seal, its release will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. Under these circumstances, sealing it again will probably be extremely difficult. Perhaps we should think of a way to have Xiao Yan take it in directly...
Huo Zhi's idea coincided with Hun Li Li's.
"Is this considered a timeline convergence? The Fallen Heart Flame, which was supposed to erupt five years later, has erupted again so early?"
Seeing the incredibly excited Fallen Heart Flame, Hun Li Li frowned slightly.
With the Fallen Heart Flame erupting, Han Feng will inevitably arrive. Should I think of a way to help Xiao Yan and take that guy out?
Although she disdained the Soul Clan's techniques, with her abilities as the young lady of the Soul Clan, it wouldn't be difficult for her to impersonate someone from the Soul Hall. She could then backstab Han Feng, letting him taste the bitterness of being betrayed by him when he betrayed Old Yao. This way, she could also gain favor with that Old Yao —it was simply...
Killing two birds with one stone!
Thinking of this, Hun Li Li began to retreat to the back of the crowd.
"Teacher, it seems we need to find a way to seize the Fallen Heart Flame ahead of time. I didn't expect it to break free from its seal."
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan was having a headache.
Originally, he planned to advance to the Dou Wang level before attempting to devour the Fallen Heart Flame, which would have greatly increased his success rate. However, it now seems that he still has to gamble with his life.
Fortunately, with the help of the Great Sun Separation Fire Body, the danger of devouring the Heavenly Flames will be reduced considerably.
The person who created this Dou Technique was truly a genius.
"Don't worry, let them wear us down first, then I'll go all out to help you. By then, capturing this Fallen Heart Flame won't be difficult!"
Upon hearing this, the Old Yao suddenly smiled.
"Teacher, have you recovered so much strength?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was pleasantly surprised.
"Not that many, but this Fallen Heart Flame isn't at its peak either. I can sense that it seems to be seriously injured."
The Old Yao's response made Xiao Yan's eyes light up.
Severely injured by the Fallen Heart Flame?
Very good!
As everyone's thoughts raced, above the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower, Su Qian's expression changed as he watched the Invisible Fire Python rapidly breaking through the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower. He then shouted sharply:
"Elders, heed my command! Form Thousand-Layer Sealing Array!"
As Su Qian finished speaking, the eighteen Inner Academy elders floating in the sky responded in unison. Immediately, eighteen powerful Dou Qi burst forth from their palms, intertwining and spreading out like refracted light, forming countless thin lines of Dou Qi. These lines of Dou Qi intersected and, in the blink of an eye, formed layer upon layer of sealing formations.
With a solemn expression, Su Qian gazed at the Thousand-Layer Sealing Array in the sky. He quickly formed hand seals, then pointed his finger sharply at the center of the energy net. Instantly, an extremely large amount of energy surged out and poured into it!
Subsequently, under Su Qian's control, the Thousand-Layer Sealing Array was fully formed, sealing the Fallen Heart Flame within.
Because breaking through the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower consumed an enormous amount of energy, the Fallen Heart Flame seemed to enter a state of sagehood, appearing somewhat listless. When it regained its spirit, raised its snake head, and its body was once again engulfed in flames, the Thousand-Layer Sealing Array had been fully formed.
As the flames rose, the violent energy within the Invisible Fire Python's body recovered somewhat. It slowly raised its head, its eyes flashing with ferocity as it gazed at the layers upon layers of sealing formations in the sky. Having already breathed the free air, it was naturally unwilling to return to that world filled with magma and Fire Poison.
Although that place is of great help to its growth, it would be terrible for it to have to stay there all the time!
"Grumble!"
After emitting a sharp sound, the Fallen Heart Flame immediately took hold in the sky, its vertical pupils, blazing with violent flames, staring intently at Su Qian, who was located at the center of the great formation.
As the enormous serpent coiled up, the flames on the Invisible Fire Python rose even more intensely, directly affecting the surrounding space. As a result, when everyone looked at the Fallen Heart Flame from afar, the Invisible Fire Python in their field of vision seemed to be pixelated.
"Everyone, be careful, beware of its counterattack. I have already sent a signal. If we just hold on a little longer, the Vice Dean of the Outer Academy and all the elders will arrive. When we join forces, we will surely be able to seal it again!"
Seeing the Invisible Fire Python's clearly aggressive posture, Su Qian immediately shouted sharply.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing the shout, the elders' expressions hardened, and they responded in deep voices.
However, just as the elders' unified shouts fell, the Invisible Fire Python coiled in the sky suddenly stretched out its body, and then its enormous body shot out like lightning. Wherever it passed, it directly burned the air and the energy of heaven and earth, making the area a vacuum for a brief moment.
The terrifyingly high temperature emanating from its body, even from a great distance, still caused some elders to slightly change their expressions. The scorching heat unleashed by this beast was in no way lower than the temperature emitted by the terrifying Dou Technique created by Xiao Yan using two Heavenly Flames that day!
"Drink!"
Seeing the Fallen Heart Flame attack, Su Qian's hand seals moved abruptly, and he let out a loud shout. As his shout fell, the colorful energy net formed by the Thousand-Layer Sealing Array burst out with dazzling, multicolored light!
"Bang!"
Its massive body, carrying immense force, slammed into the colorful energy net. The powerful impact caused the energy net to bulge upwards by nearly ten meters, its precarious arc making the onlookers in the distance hold their breath in fear.
"Get back there!!"
Looking at the Invisible Fire Python frantically charging through the energy net, Su Qian's eyes turned cold, and he slammed his palms down hard!
As Su Qian pressed down with both palms, the energy net that had been squeezed and bulged out suddenly burst out with intense light. An extremely strong rebound force surged out and directly bounced off the huge body of the Invisible Fire Python, slamming the Fallen Heart Flame back and sending it crashing to the ground.
The Fallen Heart Flame had anticipated this, and with a flick of its massive fiery tail, it dissipated the impact, hovering less than ten meters above the ground.
Despite suffering a minor setback, the Fallen Heart Flame did not falter in the slightest. With a flick of its fiery tail, it charged forward once more. Upon approaching the energy net, it opened its massive maw, and invisible flames erupted forth in a devastating torrent!
Looking at the terrifying flames that had just broken through the seal set by the Dean, Su Qian dared not be negligent at all. He rapidly formed hand seals, and his vast Dou Qi continuously poured into the energy network.
As the invisible flames began to scorch the energy network, terrifying high temperatures began to emerge, and the temperature between heaven and earth began to rise at an extremely significant rate. Many students with weaker strength were already feeling unbearably hot, and some were even horrified to find that their Dou Qi was on the verge of being ignited. Therefore, they had to retreat to a more distant place before they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the Fallen Heart Flame's attack was fierce enough, the sealing formation constructed by eighteen Dou Wang experts plus one Dou Zong expert was naturally no ordinary thing. Therefore, the two sides gradually reached a stalemate, with neither able to gain the upper hand.
But the Fallen Heart Flame doesn't have that kind of patience; it can't maintain this state for long!
It seems that we still need to use the power of our origin to break through this blockade.
Thinking of this, a small, milky-white snake, only as thick as an arm, suddenly emerged from the enormous body of the Invisible Fire Python.
On the belly of the small snake, there was a clear crack, from which some milky white flames were constantly leaking out, clearly the work of that Gu Clan Elder.
However, as soon as the little snake appeared, it brought with it a destructive force and crashed into the energy net at an extremely terrifying speed!
Click!
The next moment, the energy network was torn open!
Although Su Qian and the others reacted quickly and repaired it immediately, the violent fluctuations unique to the Heavenly Flames burst out directly from the crack and shot straight into the sky. Such a powerful and unique energy fluctuation could be clearly observed even from thousands of miles away!
"Broken!"
The moment this violent energy rose and spread, Su Qian's heart sank.
The Inner Academy is in big trouble!
Meanwhile, Xiao Yan rubbed his hands together.
Just as the Old Yao had said, the Fallen Heart Flame was severely injured.
In this way, his confidence in refining the Fallen Heart Flame has increased considerably.
As the fluctuations of that Heavenly Flames spread outwards, shouldn't my good corpse brother be arriving soon?
We need to devise a plan to kill two birds with one stone and seize Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame!
Two Heavenly Flames should be enough for him to skip the Dou Wang and go straight to Dou Emperor, right?
In that case, I might consider returning home in glory, going to the Misty Cloud Sect to drag out that Wu Protector and whip him like a top!
